More of Pichilemu

I took this pic while in a taxi waiting at a stop light (one of only two in Pichilemu) to show you how cheerleaders raise money. See in the background the girl posing in the air? I have my heart in my throat every time I see the girls being caught. Sometimes their little butts are just inches from the asphalt. Of course, I always give them a donation.
This is one of my favorite murals in town. It is painted on the corner of a disco. They call all music and dance places discos here. Sounds funny to us.

I took this pic from a moving Collectivo (taxi). These beautiful palm trees are in Ross Park which is right next door to the Ross Casino where I ALMOST had an art show last week.

You have an amazing town, the circus advertising, cheerleaders soliciting aid so scary, murals on walls like the disco or on garage doors, open air markets. I think it is a great tourist destination. Joanne

I think the tee with the fish is the best ever. You are so clever and talented. Keep up the good work. Debbie

Thanks you guys!! In some ways Pichilemu is a lot like San Diego, in that tourism is the biggest industry. We like it in the winter when it is pretty much empty and quiet, but summer is fun too with more people in town and more shops and businesses open.
We really are enjoying ourselves here.

I'm glad you like the tee shirt! I have 2 others that aren't as colorful. Sometimes the shirts from cafe press are not as bright as the artwork. But the fish in the picture turned out great. It is my favorite.
